Tonight's picture was taken around Valentine's Day of 2004. This was classic Mattie, very alert, "on," and engaged with us and his environment. I happened to have been sitting behind him on the couch and Peter was snapping the photo. Mattie was most likely reaching out at the camera and of course Peter moved quickly and captured the many fascinations of Mattie.
Quote of the day: Is it snowing where you are? All the world that I see from my tower is draped in white and the flakes are coming down as big as pop-corns. It's late afternoon - the sun is just setting behind some colder violet hills, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you. ~ Jean Webster
Well I would say they blew the weather forecast today. We were expecting 1-3 inches of snow, and landed up with much more. Being that today is Washington's birthday, and therefore a holiday, everything is running slowly. Plows, people shoveling, and so forth! Mind you it is frigid and I can imagine a lot of this will turn to ice.
We took a walk today, despite it being in the 20's. This is what the sidewalks looked like.
Right outside a local church in our neighborhood is a t-shirt display. On each t-shirt is a name and that person's age. This is a memorial to some of the people shot and killed in DC, and it is an awareness statement about gun violence.
The sparrows were out and about today and spent most of the day on our feeders. You can see sparrows on the ground, in the bushes, and on the feeders.
Can you see all the sparrows in the bush?!
I entitle this our
"snowy birds!"
In the midst of the cold and snow, look who is outside in shorts throwing snowballs!
Caught Peter in action throwing snowballs! If Mattie were alive, he would be right in the mix!
